Congresswoman Priyanka Gandhi wrote a letter to Uttar Pradesh Prime Minister Yogi Adityanath with 11 suggestions for dealing with the coronavirus crisis.
In her letter, she said that the Uttar Pradesh government should not seek any interest on the mortgage loans, and demanded exemption for cased wells and farmers’ energy bills for four months.
In her biggest focus on the state’s farmers, Priyanka Gandhi said they should be guaranteed that all of their produce will be purchased. It also demanded full payment of all outstanding quotas to farmers.
The secretary-general of Congress also sought relief for the small and medium industries in the state.
Weavers and carpet makers were also mentioned in Priyanka Gandhi’s letter, as he demanded financial aid and loan exemption for them.
Congress leader Jitin Prasada said on Wednesday that the government of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in Uttar Pradesh has completely failed to help people. “All power has been concentrated in the hands of the government, there is no voice through which officials can be reached and people are defenseless as to where to go,” said the former union minister.
Prasad said he has been telling congressional workers that the priority is that the shutdown has been in place for two months and that, as it is easing, it is important to vigorously raise farmers’ issues and concerns about law and order. , such as the acquisition of wheat.
President of Congress Sonia Gandhi has made a “historic” decision on behalf of the party to pay for the train ticket for migrant workers and it is now the responsibility of all workers in Congress to ensure that no one in need is excluded, said.
Priyanka Gandhi had previously alleged laxity in purchasing wheat in Uttar Pradesh, saying that farmers are forced to wait three days to sell their products in the mandis. “In UP, the acquisition of wheat is not done at a pace since farmers have to queue for 3 days to sell their products. There is no one to listen to your complaints. The government had been alerted much earlier, but failed to act, ”he had tweeted on Monday.
